Solar Electric Car Demo

The developer/driver and the support team of this solar car, stopped by the CCHRC near the university this morning and there was a presentation and question & answer session. Their website is www.xof1.com. They started out in Buffalo, NY, and drove up the Dempster Highway to Inuvik before heading into Alaska. The solar array produces 800 watts and the vehicle has a top speed of about 75 mph. It is licensed in Barbados. They are now headed back.
